Angry Arsenal fans start petition to get Arsene Wenger sacked

The Gunners crashed to a 3-2 Champions League defeat to Olympiakos last night, leaving them staring down the barrel of a group-stage exit.

And a section of disgusted Emirates faithful have had enough.

Supporters have set up a petition on change.org entitled: "Now is the time for change, do the right thing Arsene Wenger and GO!"

Within four hours of posting, 400 fans had already signed it.

UNHAPPY: Fans are petitioning against Wenger

The petition reads: "Last night we hit an all time low as Arsenal fans, losing to Olympiacos in the Champions League was the final straw for many Arsenal fans, lies, arrogance, neglect, and a blatant disregard for the thoughts and feelings for all the loyal fans, you name it Arsene Wenger has done it.

"For all the good he done in his initial 10 years at the club, he is now single handedly undoing it all, this petition may not get us the change we want, look who owns the club, Stan Kroenke is poison, Ivan Gazidis is poison, its rotten from the core, but don't let that stop us.

"If we get as many signatures as we did when trying to ban Mike Dean from refereeing an Arsenal game again, then surely someone will take notice, people will then at least see that this isn't a minority anymore, its a majority.

"Arsenal are in a complete mess right now on the pitch, and there is only one person responsibly for it, Arsene Wenger!"

Celebrity Arsenal fan Piers Morgan launched his own attack on Wenger following the defeat.

The Arsenal boss opted to rest Petr Cech and instead played David Ospina in goal, with the Colombia international suffering a night to forget.

Ospina failed to deal with a simple corner from Kostas Fortounis and fumbled the ball over the line for the winner.

Morgan told talkSPORT: "In the summer, we signed one player. We were the only team of any substance in Europe who didn't sign a single outfield player.

"He (Wenger) put all his chips on Petr Cech, a very, very good goalkeeper who has won the Champions League, who is our most experienced Champions League player.

"So, what does he do? In a game that Wenger described as must-win, he dropped him.

"Why in a game that you have to win would you drop your only world class player?"
